There once was a time I'd shut the beer joints down
Back then you'd say that I was lost but now I'm found
I used to live for me, but now I live by the King James
Thank God for His amazing grace, 'cause everything has changed

I used to be known by my sin, now let me be known by my Savior
Help me die to myself and let love live again
I wanna trade my here and now for your forever
I used to be known by my sin, now let me be known by my savior

Every path I chose led to another dead end
I thought I was a free man, I was a slave to my sin
I finally picked that Bible up and put that bottle down
I got down on my knees and said this prayer out loud

I used to be known by my sin, now let me be known by my Savior
Help me die to myself and let love live again
I wanna trade my here and now for your forever
I used to be known by my sin, now let me be known by my savior

I used to live for me, but now I live by the King James
Thank God for His amazing grace, 'cause everything has changed

I used to be known by my sin, now let me be known by my Savior
Help me die to myself and let love live again
I wanna trade my here and now for your forever
Oh, What a mess I was in, I was known by my sin

Now Let me be known by my savior, I wanna be known by my savior
